Red White And Black Turkey Chile Recipe

Red, White, and Black? "Thas un Merican!" Any fool knows that it should be Red, White an' Blue!" Well that is true but I have yet to find a Blue bean! It could be I just have not looked hard enough. I have no doubt that there is a health food store.

A while back we picked up a 13 lb turkey when the price was cheap. Ok inexpensive if it was cheap it would be chicken (gobble, cluck, cheap, etc ) Instead of just roasting the turkey (We will be going to my ma' in laws for that in just a few months and she cooks a mean turkey, yep... dry and tough you got to a fight on your hands just getting it off the plate! Don't get me wrong she is a very good cook, but to save time she over cooks it the night before and then heats it back up for the big day.) so I got creative. I skinned and boned it so I had 6.5 lb of boneless turkey parts. I also have multiple lbs of tomatoes that we cannot eat fast enough to make much of a dent in them. You guessed it we are up to our..err...eyeballs in tomatoes. Looking in my pantry I have a few different types of beans and that is what gets used. So I turned the runner up for the symbol of America into chili. The winner was too hard to find and talk about a fight to get it into the pot! Plus you don't get nearly as much meat off of an eagle.

Nice and delicious sounding recipe, Mark - I like using that chunked up turkey. Indeed. And I like the trio of beans coming to the chili party - how pretty. Throw in some (ok, a lot of) icy cold brew and maybe a skillet of crispy cornbread...de-lish.

I'm giving you 5 forks for the recipe and 20 more for the story and the fact that you skinned and deboned a turkey. Bravo! And for another way to use that motherload of tomatoes you have on hand. If'n I lived closer, I'd take a few off of you.
